The Adventures of Tom Sawyer - A fabulous book to read to young ones on your Kindle

Thomas "Tom" Sawyer is the title character of the Mark Twain novel THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER (1876). He appears in three other novels by Twain: ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN (1884), TOM SAWYER ABROAD (1894), and TOM SAWYER, DETECTIVE (1896). Sawyer also appears in at least three unfinished Twain works, HUCK AND TOM AMONG THE INDIANS, SCHOOLHOUSE HILL and TOM SAWYER'S CONSPIRACY. While all three uncompleted works were posthumously published, only Tom Sawyer's Conspiracy has a complete plot, as Twain abandoned the other two works after finishing only a few chapters.

FI preferred the adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Spoiler alert, after getting the treasure in the AOTS, Huck gets adopted, doesn't like it, uses his wealth on drink and women and eventually dies a washed out drunk on a riverboat casino. Kids eh, the youth of today aren't that bad considering.

I wonder if it still includes the infamous sentence when Huck tells 2 ladies about a riverboat burning and sinking, and one of them asks if anyone had been killed, to which Huck replies "no, just a n*****". Ah sure they were simpler days back then.

To be completely honest, it doesn't appeal to me. I haven't any interest in US post-colonial literature. I don't even have any interest in British or Irish post colonial literature. Im a child of the 60s and anything before that may as well not have happened.

I am the opposite to the last post. I find most books, music and art made after I was born soulless but each to his own.
